I definitely agree. Wargaming and WoT does not deserve this award by any objective standard.

First there is bribery of its playerbase. IMO this awards are completely irrelevant becouse of that.

Secondly this game tehnically sucks. Its engine is outdated, game mechanics are completely broken and illogical. Several bugs exists from the beggining of this game for example those 0 pen hits. Devs once admitted that those penetration are bugs and now they are vehicle features. Completely irresponsible and stupid.

Their entire balancing procedure sucks. Its only purpose is to make their playerbase think they are doing something. By adding new tanks their stats make older tanks completely obsolete and they dont even try to buff or nerf them to make them on par with new tanks.

Game mechanics are extremely tilted to one side (USSR tanks), several nations so-called strong sides are either disregarded (turret armor on americans and so called accuracy on germans) or useless (hull down on slopes are impossible to make since those slopes are too steep). And as icing on cake come those hidden stats like ground resistance, dispersal randomness factor, shell velocity etc which are never revaled to playerbase as whole and serve to stealth nerf or buff tanks without knowledge of said playerbase.

Playerbase itself is ignored and often insulted from devs (storm and SerB), and their requests are not even considered except when WG cam make lots of money by thos changes.

Customer support is also especially lets say weird. Several my friends had to wait for a whole week to get a response, and one friend got his account hacked. Although he had all the reciepts from bank about his payments, logs about logging into game on his accound, several dates of buying tanks, they didnt return that account to him and recently unlocked it for the guy who hacked it. Completely irresponsible and immoral.

Say whatever you want, call me noob, say that I should quit this game if I dont like it and similar. Well I am not quitting this game becouse it still has some good points about it. And there is no other tank based MMOFPS on the market on which i can switch. Thats called monopoly and that is the only reason why WG can get away with those gross failures of theirs made in this game.

Can someone tell me with what did WG bribe you guys? Money? as I said earlier every Free2play game that was competing probably had the same special if they won somesort of a discount etc.
first thing: Graphic is WoT is maybe not great but its way better then LoL, but WG needs to tweak the graphic engine so that we with strong PC's get alot better FPS rate then now.
2nd Soviet tanks OP: I dont agree with you T-34-85 is much weaker then Vk3601H Soviet tanks are easy to set on fire, German tanks have better HP rate,Americans are good too, but I agree they need to be buffed a little but really how could anyone know how would Tiger 2 vs IS-3 battle end? they weren't fighting each other. Each nation has different play style Soviets have much lower reload rate then German tanks,they arent accurate as German tanks.

I agree with you that WoT Support needs to be changed, but game isn't fault for that.

Still I am pleased to hear that WoT won the Golden Joystick award because they arent pay2win type of games like some other ''free2play'' games, WG will introduce in 8.1 option to buy prem ammo for credits, you can buy camoes, modules and everything for free, Premium tanks and Account are only used for faster progress.

I'm active LoL player and I play casually WoT and I must say that LoL made the same "bribery" (IP boosts if LoL will win), they have just 10 mln less players than WoT.
So this is pretty normal in f2p. The better game won.
